An Exhibition worth visiting

Bath Fashion Museum have some wonderful exhibitions. In their special displays they show the costumes so that you can get right up close - not behind glass. - I love visiting. I would really recommend their latest exhibition is called Jubilee - it shows about 50 costumes of the Monarchy in film and stage. I took 118 photos - loads of close ups. It's so interesting to see how these costumes are put together. For example the costume worn by Patrick Mcgoohan as King Edward I in Braveheart looks like chain mail from a distance but up close it turns out to be a lovely knitted fabric with the surface painted

Some are really beautiful, and elaborate...

And as I say you can get right up close to them.......

The display includes costumes right up to date like the costume worn by Helen Bonner Carter as the Queen in the Kings Speech.
